Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Truly think our playoff chances lie with OU and Bama. I think we beat everyone else. Can’t drop both of those games.

 

[Vol423]

#15, Bama one spot ahead of us. Make it make sense

Doesn't even matter since we play them.

 

[Vol423]

UAB's QB is the QB who got caught with child porn a few years ago when he was at Florida.

Kitna? I can't believe that kid is playing football.

 

[MemphisVol3]

I think it could, if you factor in teams in front of us losing or playing poorly.

Yeah the fact we didn’t drop after the loss says a lot about how media/coaches feel about us. Even in Kirby’s post game interview, you could tell in his voice they got lucky to get out of there with that W. I think we have another playoff team. Defense needs to get healthier and better. Offense is good and will likely be able to score against anyone. Before the game, You couldn’t tell me us scoring 30+ would result in a loss yesterday.

 

[BigSteve09]

I missed it ... who is saying that Gibson and McCoy won't play this year?

Gibson is out for year. Confirmed by many.

AP on McCoy today:
"Imo the kid wants to play but agents get involved so you can’t count on anything until he plays."

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Hell OU is getting a lot of credit for beating a Michigan team I'm not sure is even good...

After watching 3 weeks now my top 5 in SEC based on who beats who..

1. Georgia
2. A&M
3. Vols
4. Ole Miss
5. OU


LSU hasn't scored 24 points yet, with a "Heisman" QB coming into the season. Clemson and Florida are both 1-2 teams and the other juggernaut they beat was Louisiana Tech 23-7.

Vandy got South Carolina, a team that was way overhyped coming into the season anyway...their other wins VA Tech (just fired HC after 0-3 start) and a FCS school.

Auburn we'll find out Saturday when they play at OU...Baylor seems like a solid win...as of now though

Miss State (see Vandy, but replace South Carolina with Arizona State)

Mizzou see Auburn...although South Carolina imo isn't as good as OU I do think Beamer will have them fired up for it

I definitely am in the camp of LSU being WAY WAY overrated! We would slaughter them.

I think we have a shot to go undefeated the rest of the schedule if we can get some things cleaned up, particularly defensively. OU is probably the closest to another Georgia level defense.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Well it was Georgia week so JJ making plays

 

[Jackcrevol]

mccoy would help himself to play, imo

 

[JohnnyD1024]

Kitna? I can't believe that kid is playing football.

I guess it's one of the perks of your dad being rich enough to make things go away.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Bama gets handled by an unranked (currently #7) FSU team. UT loses in OT to the #6 team. Bama gets ranked higher, both with 1 loss.

bama bias is real.

There are 4-5 teams ahead of us that shouldn't be.

Agreed. We are a top 10 team and are definitely better than any other 1 loss team I’ve seen. There’s no way Texas should be 8. They suck.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Gibson is out for year. Confirmed by many.

AP on McCoy today:
"Imo the kid wants to play but agents get involved so you can’t count on anything until he plays."

What's Gibson's injury? I'm assuming a badly broken collarbone if he's out for the year.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

If I’m Heupel I’m beating on the NCAA’s door everyday pleading for another year of JA. If Pavia can get it why not JA.

Crazy you say that. I was just wondering about that this morning. He’s played 2 years at JUCO and only 3 years in D1. If I am Heup, I would! Would fill the gap and not have to take a transfer if Merk transfers.

 

[peaygolf]

mccoy would help himself to play, imo

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Man...this Rams team is loaded!

Verse, Young as your rushers...

Adams and Puka for WRs

Corum at RB?

 

[SpringBokVol]

No way do I think McCoy sits out the year. He wants to play.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Sampson taking a big backseat to Judkins.

That's stupid.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I thought he could play this year because of Pavia

Kitselman got another year because of Pavia.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Have we considered blaming @OGbabyaviVol for yesterday's loss? I mean he did create the game thread.

 

[RandomUTfan]

What's Gibson's injury? I'm assuming a badly broken collarbone if he's out for the year.

The rumor is a torn pec but absolutely no one has officially confirmed that.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The rumor is a torn pec but absolutely no one has officially confirmed that.

Yeah has to be a tear or break. A strain/separation wouldn't be season ending.

Get the RS and just get healthy, hopefully he doesn't decide to bail after this year...would be nice to see some of these high rated DBs stick around long enough to earn their damn keep for once.

 

[SugarCC]

B Young strip sack on Ward

His second sack of the day.

 

[Garren04]

Crazy you say that. I was just wondering about that this morning. He’s played 2 years at JUCO and only 3 years in D1. If I am Heup, I would! Would fill the gap and not have to take a transfer if Merk transfers.

And if it’s not possible I would go right back to the portal and get a veteran gunslinger QB. It’s what fits this offense. Now knowing what you have at WR it’s what I would do. Let a young QB prepare for the year after. I’m getting ahead of myself tho really excited to watch JA the rest of the season.

Make the decision, young man! Agents do not own you! You are a 21 year old adult. If you want to play with your team, then play!

The Defense is good. The offense has struggled so far. If they get the O going they will be tough
